FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6,1889.
LAST Friday Simeon Coy the tally sheet forger and an ex-penitentiary convict, was nominated for the City Council by the Democrats of the 18th Ward in Indianapolis. The party in that locality must be Li-H up f^r naterial, or they have lost their self respect if t.hey ever had any.
FDT'OR MITCHELL, of the Democrat, says in regard to Sim Coy being the Democratic candidate for Council in Indianapolis: "We are inclined to the opinion that Mr. Coy should not have been a candidate but having been nominated, he should he clectcd, and will be if the Democrats turn out."
If Coy is elected the REPUBLICAN says shame on the Democrats who did it. The Democrat's principle is a vicious one, viz., if a bad man is nominated, elect him. We say no, defeat him. Elect the best man
Do vote for a bad man because is on your ticket. That is corrupting to good government. Vote for the best men is the correct principle and we should be glad to have our people realize this fact.
WJE understand that the Mt. Comfort fi oe gravel road which was built only two years ago is being rebuilt. The material used is not good but is composed too largely of sand and dirt to last. Now that we have free gravel roads in Hancock county, the public funds should be used economically and judiciously for the best interests of the tax-payers. This matter will be closely looked after and the County Commissioners should do their duty well.
CORPORAL TANNER and the Harrison Administration, was rather heartily indorsed at the G. A. R. meeting last week. It was widely heralded by Democratic papers that Tanner would be set down on and cause trouble in the G. A. R. ranks. Here is what they said. "That we thank President Harrison for appointment of our comrade, James Tanner, as Commissioner of Pensions, and notwithstanding the assault made on him, we declare our complete confidence in his integrity and our approval of his endeavors to do all that can be done under the laws for the veterans of the war: and in connection with him we ask a full investigation of his administration of the affairs of the Pension Bureau.''
The Lansing (Mich.) Republican is making a heroic effort to collect accounts from delinquent subscribers. The names and amounts are given and advertised from day to day for sale. The Kalamazoo Gatte is mtliority for the statement that "In Ohio recently a newspaper brought sull against f.-irty-threc men wlio would not pay for their subscription, and obtained iubgement, in each claim. Of these twenty eigiiL liiiulc, aili(l t.vil that they owned no more than the law allowed, thus preventing an attachment. Then under the decision of the supi erne court they were arrested for petty larceny and bound over in the sum of $300 each. All but six gave bunds, while six went to jail." It is a peculiar condition of things that so many people believe they have aright to exercise their own pleasure as to paying or not pay'ng for a newspaper. Even well to do and passably good people get the notion into their heads that it doesn't make any difference whether they pay once a year or once in six years, and some of them become wrathy if the publisher, after patiently waiting four or Ave years, finally resorts to the law to collect what ought to have been paid voluntarily long before.
We should be glad to have all of our subscribers who are in arrears consider well whether they are doing right by just allowing their subscriptions to run without paying anything. We pay for your paper every week and we ask that you come in at once and settle.
RAMBLER'S ROUNDS.
It being dry and hot this week, I concluded I would recreate a little and attend the Christian Sunday School picnic to be held at Dye's Lake. Consequently after considerable stirring about for vehicles, by Hincliman, Tyner and myself, and a great deal of fuming and fretting by some of our fair sex, we succeeded in getting conveyances for all, and the procession formed with Mr. Davis and his load of about 25 little ones taking the lead. We soon left him behind, however, as he spilled some of his load out by the end-gate coming out. Outside of a few screams by the women, and a howl or two by the spilt little ones, no damage was done, and soon all were proceeding beautifully. The air was cool and bracing from the north, the dust was not troublesome, and soon the spirits of the little folks arose to the occasion, and even those few that had cried failure acknowledged there was nothing to hinder having a splendid time, and by the time we arrived on the grounds all were in the best of humor and prepared to enjoy themselves to the fullest extent, with the assistance of the swings and boats, provided by Mr. Dye for pleasure-seekers. On arriving we began to count noses, and found there were at least a hundred of us, and this fact began to give me no little uneasiness, for on an occasion of this kind I always consider the dinner the leading feature, and I had failed to bring mine along. But when the sisters began to bring out the baskets and pans from under the seats, I felt glad that they had not been as thoughtless as I, and Mrs. King's basket looking the largest of the lot, I concluded I'd stand by that. Going to the stand we discovered that Mr. Dye was also on hand with confectionery and water-melons and numerous other things to tickle the palate of the little ones. He was also provided with a large quantity of ice to keep the people cool. All soon dispersed themselves over the grounds and the shouts of glee and laughter soon indicated that all were having a good time. I stationed myself by one of the swings, and after pushing about a thousand to and fro, began to get hungry, and I watched the motions of the women closely and as soon as I saw the big basket emerge, I was on hand, and I had made no mistake, for the many toothsome edibles, known only to an expert in the culinary art, that those ladies unearthed would make any hungry man's heart leap for joy, and after placing a large melon on one corner of the table, and a pitcher of ice-water close at hand, the feast proceeded. Who says, "all sorrows, even the crowning one, debts, cannot be forgotten in this life," just try a dinner of this kind as I did for two hours and thirty minutes, and see what effect it will have. After dinner the children were all allowed to go boat riding until they were tired, and that was along time. To see Morris Hincliman try to start with his freight, by getting the end of his boat against the bank and use his oars the reverse way until he became hot, imagining he was taking the children a delightful ride, would have formed a picture for an artist. Mr. Davis being anxious to show the people how beautifully he could glide through the water with a pretty striped suit on, Lon Tyner, Mr. Steward, Mr. Dye and myself concluded we would accompany him. After selecting our suits, retiring to the tent and making our toilet, we emerged, looking like penitentiary birds. Tyner had selected one too large, and it folded about him like the wrinkles in a rhinoceros' hide. After performing to our satisfaction, and, eliciting many exclamations of admiration from the crowd on the shore, we again retired then it was we discovered that Tyner had made no mistake in the fit of his suit, and he loped out of it very easily, but when it came our time to divest, they wouldn't divest worth a cent, and it was only after much tugging and pulling that we succeeded in pulling them off wrong side out, and the next time we bathe we'll go way down the creek. In crossing to our vehicles preparatory to return home, the many bones, rinds, etc., laying around indicated that we had been well fed, and the many expressions of pleasure, demonstrated that all had, indeed, had a picnic. We arrived at home at sundown, all fully gratified with their day of pleasure.
Next day, Quitman Jackson having business at Fortville, and being a stranger up there, he desired me to accompany him and show him around. I accepted the invitation with much pleasure, as any ordinary person can be capable of accomplishing much good for the old reliable in any directioy, and not liking to be idle, I concluded to make that my mission. Our large number of subscribers up there were looking happy, and all were unanimous in declaring that the fences of our paper were never in better condition, and growing stronger every day. I only had time to take a peep at our people, so I will not have much to say about them this time. The many improvements that are constantly going on there show plainly that our friends are in earnest, and that fire cannot cause this thriving village to down, but a short time, and the energy and thrift of her business men, insures their success. All who are acquainted with the men doing business there, know that they are men of push and enterprise. I called on but tew of them, and those are satisfied with the business they are doing. I enjoyed a few Wm. Simmons' remarks. He is very obliging, and has been of much service to the-JtEPUisLicAN. On my way to Alfont I stopped and took dinner with our old patron, Chas. Wynn. Mr. W. has a nice family, well brought up. He has one daughter married, and I suspect
it will not be long until he will have to prepare for another similar occasion. I do not know the young man's intentions, but those would be mine if I were"he.
At Alfonte most of the people had gone fishing. The corn in that section is splendid, and I think 50 bushel per acre would be a safe estimate. Mr. Los Rash is a Democrat, a man of push, full of business, a good talker, and no fool by any means. Mr. Rash says he is favor of free pikes, but thinks they paid too much for them. He is a stockholder in the pike that runs by him, but says he is willing *o turn it over to the county if they will obligate themselves to keep it in good condition. He takes the REPUBLICAN and thinks it is a good paper.
Getting ready to come home, I went to Fortville to load Bro. Jackson in. He had been holding an examination there, and was full of mathematics, grammar, etc., as it did not take him long to figure out what two whole numbers multiplied together make 7, and in grammar, whether 6 and 5 is IB, or 6 and 5 are 15. Arriving home we each felt much elated, at having been together. The reader will please excuse this weak scribble, and I will now write finis to this one.
Compare the REPUBLICAN, with the other county papers. A. J. Banks, has improved his elegant home property by a fine new iron fence.
Our young friend Charles T. Hanna, of Fortville, was in to see the""REPUBLICAN to-day.
Mrs. J. F. Mitchell left to-day for a visit with her sister, Mrs. Preston Maden, at Franklin.
Benjamin McNamee, of Sugar-creek, was in Greenfield to-day and remembered the REPUBLICAN.
THE rains this week have done much good. The air is now purer and this is glorious September weather.
Mrs. V. L. Early and sons and Miss Beulah Swope left to-day for a short visit with Mrs. E.'s sister-in-law, Mrs. Sallie Peters, of Indianapolis. ,l
Mr. Martin Coffield, will teach one grade of our city schools in the east upstairs room of the new Gant Block. Greenfield evidently has many children,
Mrs. Honer, mother of Mrs. John Egan, was here the first of the week visiting. Mrs Honer has the management of the, Valley Hotel at Knightstown.
We are under obligations to a number of our patrons, who are bringing in new subscribers for Hancock County's best newspaper. Go do likewise.
M. C. Foley and family of Bloomington Mrs. Fanny Martin and family,of Chester were here this week attending the funeral of their mother, Mrs. Eliza P. Foley.
The citizens of Greenfield will soon be enjoying a first-class postoffice outfit. Our new postmaster, Isaac Davis, will have placed in position when he takes possession one of the latest and best postoflice deliveries made. It will be a credit to the town and should have been done long ago.
In a private letter to R. M. Lynn, Raymond Geary informed him that he was getting along nicely with his work, and that he was able to accomplish more than the required amount of work each day. We will bank on Raymond. He is a square boy.

An Important Element
Of the success of Hood's Sarsaparillais the fact that every purchaser receives a fair equivalent for his money. The familiar headline "100 Doses One Dollar," stolen by imitators, is original with and true only of Hood's Sarsaparilla. This can easily be proven by any one who desires to test the matter. For real economy, buy only Hood's Sarsaparilla. Sold by all druggists.
THE GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, FBIDA,Y SEPTEMBER 6, 1889.
RAMBLER.
Fields & Son, one mile south of Philadelphia, this county, will the first of next week be ready for business at their' cane mill. Mr. Fields says he has never exhibited his molasses at any fair, but that his steadily increasing business each year shows that the superior quality of his molasses can not be surpassed. He has a large number of patrons at Indianapolis who have bought of him for years, and indeed there are very few people who have not eaten some of his fine sorghum, and can testify to its good qualities. Mr. Fields says that he will this year endeavor to give as complete satisfaction as he has in the past. Call and try his sorghum and learn prices.

Putting on the Cap Sheaf.
"It's wonderful what flimflam noshins they do git up nowadays," said the old lady in the next seat ahead. "When I was fust married an ox cart was considered good nuff fur anybody to ride in, but now they hev to hev palace kyarsand sich or folks is kicking. "It's got to be jist as bad nor wuss in church," she continued, as she felt for her pipe and tobacco. "I shet my eyes to it fur awhile, but I had to git 'em open when folks began to make fun of me fur wearing of a bonnet which was seven years old. Some of 'em git a new bonnet every year, and the extravagance in dress goods, handkerchiefs, collars, and sich is perfectly awfuL I should think it would bust up all the men folks. "And everything has got to running to grammar," she went on, as she filled her pipe and hunted in her satchel for a match. "In my day nobody didn't keer nuthing about nouns and verbs and poverbs, but everybody in this aige is dead struck on 'em. I can't tell one o' my gals to bring up 'taters fur dinner or drive the goslin's out o' the garden patch but what she flies up at me about my grammar."
She found a match and lighted her pipe, to the great amusement of the other passengers, and she was puffing away and taking lots of comfort
Avhen
the conductor came along. "No smoking in this car, ma'am," he curtly announced. "What?" "No smoking here." "Do you mean to say its agin the rules to smoke as I ride along and hanker fur it?" "I do. You will have to stop at once." "Humph! Well, that does put the cap sheaf on the whole bizness, though I've bin expecting it fur some time. The la3t time I went to meeting they objected to my smoking in one of the back pews, and now I start on a journey to my daughter Hanner's to be told to shet off smoking afore I've drawn six whiffs, because the railroad don't like it! I'll stop, of course, but when I git to Hanner's I'll just gin right up and tell 'em I want to die. It's no use fur an ole woman like me to expect to git any more comfort in this flimflam aige, and the sooner I kin git to heaven the better."—New York Sun.
Music and Love.
An aspect of our subject, however, before matters reach their marrying stage, is the effect of music upon the emotions, especially love, or vice versa, and the stimulus it gives to affairs of the heart generally. I have seen it stated somewhere that there are more marriages among the class of people who dabble in quavers and harmonies, and who come under that very pliable term "musical," than any other. If this be true, it ought to be possible to account for it. Why is it? It is hard to see, especially at the financial outlook, for the average musician is certainly not, so far as my experience goes, such as to warrant women seeking husbands in this walk of life, and money, I believe, constitutes an important factor in the matrimonial question, whichever side be viewing it.
Most people, probably, will be prepared to say that the opportunities for flirting are greater, and perhaps the solution of the problem may PS well be found in this as any other. However the matter be solved, musical annals certainly furnish a considerable roll of flirtations—sufficient, indeed, to tempt many to think that after all the class of whom I am writing play no inconsiderable part in keeping the divorce law in existence. There is no end to the tales. Even that straight laced gentleman, Haydn, whose pious habit of inscribing his scores with bits of reverent Latin, will go down to posterity, and who, if this failed, would always be held sacred for his oratorio, "The Creation"—even he fell in lovo with Mile. Boselli, despite his wife and his piety. He had her portrait painted, and satisfied al) her little whims and fancies, which, like those of all prime donne, were not, of course, inexpensive ones. Good old, but inconstant, Haydn! —Gentleman's Magazine.
Have Men a Kiglit to Liberty?
The anarchists of today have pushed the old dogma of natural liberty to the extremest form of abstract deduction, and they propose to make it a programme of action. They therefore make of it a principle of endless revolution. If, however, the basis on which ii "nee rested is gone, it is impossible that we should hold and use it any more. With •••'r present no of is to a no men on earth ever have had li M-ty in the sense of unrestrietedness of action. The very conception is elusive. It is impossible to reduce it to such form that it could be verified, for the reason that it is non-human, non-eartlily. It never could exist on this earth and among these men. The notion of liberty and of ttie things to which it pertains has changed from age to age in modern history.
Never in the history of the world lias military service weighed on large bodies of men as it does now on the men of the European continent. It is doubtful if it would ever have been endured. Yet the present victims of it do not appear to consider it inconsistent with liberty. Sumptuary laws about dress would raise a riot in any American state a prohibitory law would have raised a riot among people who did not directly resist sumptuary laws. A civil officer in France, before the revolution, who had bought or inherited his office, had a degree of independence and liberty in it which the Nineteenth century official never dreams of. On the contrary, the more this Nineteenth century civil and political liberty is perfected, the more it appears that under it an official has freedom of opinion and independence of action only at the peril of his livelihood. —Professor W. G. Sumner in Popular Science Monthly,.
An Australian who was hanging to the beam of a bridge, and realized that he must fall, made a verbal will to a companion, disposing of about $50,000 worth of property, and the courts sustained it. Once in awhile the courts do a sensible thing.

A Fatal Gas Spring.
The discovery is reported of a deadly gas spring in Yellowstone park. It is stated that it rises through a small creek, to which it gives the appearance of boiling, although the water is quite cold, and its exhalations have killed squirrels and other small creatures. Further up the gulch the odor of gas becomes more intense, and there in addition to the carcass of a silvar tip grizzly, on which there were no signs of violence, were found, it is said, the bones of four more bears, an elk and also smaller animals.—New York Telegram.
Whales on the Maine Coast.
The whales are reported unusually numerous along shore. One of the Boston steamer captains says that on a late trip it looked as if the boat were running into a bed of rocks over which the sea was breaking. The rocks were whales and the monsters were resting on the water, apparently unconscious of the nearness of the boat. Thus do attractions for summer tourists multiply.—Lewiston Journal.
Bellini's piano, on which he composed his earliest operas, has just been found in the possession of a widow lady of Catania, whose husband bought it for £110s. The Catanians have petitioned the owner to present the piano to the town—Bellini's birthplace—that the relio of their townsman may be preserved as a souvenir, and not pass into g' ESS hands. ..
